WILLIS DEFEATS
JARGENSON
Local Boy Won Last Night In Two
Straight Falls. Bout Wan a
Lively One.
Joe Willis last night defeated Sam |
Jargenson, of Chicago, in an inter
esting wrestling bont, which ^was
he'd at the armory and was attended
by a large crowd of fans. The local
boy threw his opponent in two
straight falls, securing the first fall
In about 35 minutes and the second
In 26.
Both boys were hard workers and
the match was a Hvely one to wit
ness. Although JargensOn had the j
*dv*nt?g? in weight Willis* ability!
to wigglo out of dangerous situa
tions and his quickness in taking" ad
vantage of every opening, more than
offset this point. The match was
cleanly fought and was a clever ex
hibition of" the game. Jargenson
proved a worthy opponent for the
local boy and it is hoped that he will,
visit here again. He is a good man.j
Willis wl'.l probably work agalnj
in about snother week. Two chal
lenges were read last night from men
who are eager to meet h'.m .
A preliminary bout between Kid
Robblns and 8trangler B'.ggs proved
a good attraction. The former won
his fall In about 11 minutes. Both
bouts were refereed by Ted. Leach. |
WIND CAUSED CAR
TO MOVE ON TRACK
Powerful Headlight on 1?aasenger
Engine Prevented Wreck from
Occurring at New Bern.
New Bern, March 24. ? But for the
fact that ibo locomotive drawing ther
Norfolk Southern 'midnight express'
enroute from Qoldsboro to Norfolk
Wednesday night, was equipped with
a powerful electric headlight, the
train would doubtless been torn to
"smithereens" at a point near Tus~
corora and many passengers would
have probably been killed or Injured.
During the heavy wind storm
which s#ept over this section Wed
nesday, the wind in tome manner
caused a box car standing on a sid
ing at Tuscorora to get in motion
and before It stopped It had moved
out on the main line, right In the
path of the "midnight express."
No one was about that part of tha
yard after the car had moted out
on tbe track and it was not noticed.
The express usually passes that point
at a pretty good rate of speed and
It was coming along at a fair gait
Wednesday night when the engineer
Aw the freight ear several hundrej
feet ahead.
The train was qafetly brought to
a stop and the freight car hooked
on to the locoitaOtfve and carried
baek to Ite proper place on tha yard.

pan would be able to land 92,
000 men on our shoes within
twenty-two days after a declara
tion of war. She could fo'low
this up with 142,000 more
within forty-one days."
This declaration, based on the
authority of expcrtB, was made
yesterday by Captain Matthew
E. Hatina, U. S. A., retired, at
a meeting of the National Secur
ity League In the Hotel Astor.
"What we need to meet such
possible Invasions is a first line
of trained men," he continued,
"and a second line of partly
trained men who'could be avall
ab'e for sprvlce within two or
three months.
"The Hay and Chamberlain
bills make adequate provision
for neither. They are good as
far as they go, with the excep
tion of the plan to federalize
the militia.
"The difficulties of getting a
proper army have been the cost
and the dlfflcnlty of getting
men. A eolutlon of either prob
lem leads to compu'sory train
ing and defense obligation*."
